The 20th Annual Inquiry@Queen's Undergraduate Research Conference consists of 8 oral presentation sessions, a poster session, and a keynote address. Queen's students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to attend as many sessions as possible and encouraged to pose thoughtful questions to our presenters.

All oral presentations will be evaluated by adjudicators and the two best oral presentations will receive the Vice-Principal Research Undergraduate Prize, valued at $1000 each. This prize celebrates academic rigour, reinforces the commitment to teaching and research integration, and elevates the profile of undergraduate research at Queen’s University. Please note that only oral presentations are currently eligible for this prize.

This year, the top poster will be awarded $250 from Queen's University Library in recognition of their research excellence.
